Very few ISPs intentionally block inbound TCP.

One U.S. ISP that technically blocks inbound TCP over IPv6 is T-Mobile Home Internet (fixed wireless). The gateway appliance included with the plan offers no way to forward a port to the subscriber's computer. (Source) I've read that most major U.S. ISPs threaten to disconnect a home subscriber for running a publicly accessible server. (Source)

IPv6-only [...] site is inaccessible to users stuck on legacy networks

One large legacy network in the U.S. is Frontier fiber, which is still IPv4-only in 2026.

In Europe, Ford is not a prestige badge. They are competing with the likes of Renault, VW, Nissan, and Honda. And now of course the Chinese brands like MG, BYD, Jaecoo, Sonoda, Cherry, Omoda, and others.

They just aren't offering much for the European market. We aren't keen on light trucks, and most of their EVs are shitty fossil conversions. That just leaves the dwindling fossil market for them.

It is misdirection. This is about the fact that people in areas that data centers are looking to build hate what these data centers do to their areas.

Instead of building out new power and increasing the bills of residents in a new data center area, they side step it by using, "excess power availability" in widespread areas. Sucking up the excess. PREVENTING, areas from having excess which means that in 6 months or a year, forced power upgrades in these areas leading to higher power bills.

Basically the same thing happening to people but hidden with a small veil of separation of the consequences running these, "Data Centers". In effect they are just spreading the problem around and hiding it.

Submission + - The first segment of the Fehmarnbelt megatunnel project is placed.

Qbertino writes: The Fehrmarnbelt Tunnel is a European construction megaproject building a tunnel between Denmark and Germany, crossing the Fehmarnbelt in the Baltic sea. The first segment of the tunnel has now successfully been placed in its designated spot. This is a yet unseen next-level engineering feat achived by the Danish Sund & Baelt construction company. It took 14 hours and used a massive pontoon ship built specifically for this project. The tunnel segments are 217 meters long, weigh more than 73.000 metric tons and have to be placed within a tolerance of 3mm. The tunnel will eventually consist of 89 of these segments, be 18 km long and connect the Danish city of Rodby with the German island Fehmarn with five individual tunnel tubes, 2 for cars, 2 for trains and one rescue & maintenance tunnel. Crossing time will be reduced from a 45 minute ferry crossing to 7 minutes by train or 10 minutes by car and cut the travel time between the German city of Hamburg and the Danish Capital Kopenhagen down to 2,5 hours. The projects planned completion is set for the year 2029. German news Tagesschau has some details and a neat animation showing details, the German technews site heise.de has some further details.
